On Sunday it was Father's Day here and we had a lovely service which I both led and preached at. A special feature of the service, as well as the children's video and song, was the participation of the Decolagem (Lift Off) band which existed from 1990 to 2004 composed of Philip, Vicente, Jeziel, João and Bruno. This band was resurrected for this special occasion and all went off very well.
Yesterday afternoon I conducted the funeral service of Dona Sílvia who was the mother of our male-nurse Perlânio, who is also a good sign-language interpreter for the deaf. 81-year-old Sílvia died on Sunday morning and Perlânio asked me to conduct the service and graveside committal. After the funeral I took the opportunity to visit the grave of my late in-laws Frank and Ivy Dyer.
We are making preparations for our Pastors and Leaders Conference to be held at Green Pastures next month from the 22nd to 24th of September. Please pray for this very important annual event which involves good teaching and warm fellowship. Anyone able to contribute to the pastors attending from the poorer churches please send designated gifts to the EAB treasurer.
EAB's new school at Vazante is going well and full-steam ahead. Please pray for this school and for all the EAB schools with a total of over 800 pupils.
